•    Description:  Aluminum recycling generates waste products referred to as secondary aluminum processing wastes, which are comprised of two components, salt slag and baghouse dust. This article describes the work performed by the Aluminum Association's Saltcake Workgroup along with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assess concerns about the landfilling of these materials. Specifically, the workgroup’s focus was on resolving the concerns through a thorough review of the safety of secondary aluminum processing waste landfilling toward ensuring that it would remain a viable option in support of the health of U.S. aluminum recycling.
